Harry Reid Runs His First Campaign Ads

These spots give us two indications of how deep the trouble is for the Senate Majority Leader back home in Nevada. First, it is very unusual for a four-term incumbent to have to re-introduce himself to voters with a bio spot. (The campaign argues that many new residents have moved into the state since Reid last ran.) Second, it is even more unusual for said incumbent to be up on the air more than a year before the election.
